Today has mostly consisted of breaking up sibling fights, cleaning up messes, trying to catch snippets of news, and keeping the kids quiet while Dad works upstairs. Patience is running low, my coffee is cold, and this is our new normal…for now. This is not a day, or even a week, that makes me think […]
At the end of every photo session, I turn to my clients with a plea that goes something like this, “In your photo gallery, you’ll have an option to submit an order for professional prints. I would highly suggest getting professional prints of anything you’re going to hang on a wall.” What I want to […]
I’ve taken photos of hundreds of kids…babies, toddlers, teenagers….they’re all different, but one thing that’s consistent is that Mom and Dad want a smile.

When I talk to a new client, one of the first questions they usually have for me, is, “Do you have any ideas for a location?” and yep, I do. But first I have some questions for them…and for you too, if you’ve got a photo session on your mind. What kind of vibe are […]
On Thursday we celebrated our son’s 8th birthday. As we’ve added children to our family, 3 in all, these birthdays seem to sneak up on us even faster. When the actual day comes, I’m usually scurrying around running errands…picking up the cake, blowing up balloons, counting up RSVPs and wrapping gifts. But at some point..usually […]
If you’re anything like me, you’re swimming in photos. Your phone’s camera roll goes back years, your computer has dozens for random folders, and you constantly get notifications that your space in the cloud is filling up fast. And although the photos run deep, so many of our walls are bare and we can’t find […]

So if you’ve been reading your emails or following along on social media, then you may have noticed that I launched something big out into the world last week. I opened the doors to my first ever online course, Digital Camera Academy. And I’ll tell you, it wasn’t easy and it definitely felt scary. It […]
